Review of the Northern forestry and forest products industry situational analysis

Revision of the 2020 forestry industry situational analysis (CRCNA) to determine whether priorities have changed and assess progress made towards addressing the recommendations. This project primarily reviews findings and recommendations pertaining to the Northern Territory and Ord Valley, although the original report addressed the whole northern Australia.
 
The project found that of the original 2020 recommendations for the northern forestry industry, five are still valid in the Northern Territory context, most with some adjustments. Two of the original recommendations were assessed as well progressed by the work of the Hub and other parties. Further two were assessed as partially progressed and one with only informal progress made.
 
Key recommendations for further action include the continuation of facilitation of First Nations communities’ participation in forestry, development of NT policies that support forestry activities and further market research for northern forest products.

Strategy review

The Hub has made significant progress towards its strategy which was first formulated in its early days. In light of that, the steering committee has identified that it is now timely to revisit the strategic plan and review the Hub’s goals for the next two year period. Greenwood Strategy has again been engaged to assist the Hub with this work which is predicted to be completed in the first quarter of FY26.
